On Day 1 of the draft, the Bears went offense. At the start of Day 2, they went back to their defensive roots with nose tackle Eddie Goldman.
Goldman is a 6'4'', 336-pound run-stuffing machine. It was vital for the Bears to come away with a player who can anchor the middle up front in this 3-4 scheme, and they got great value in Goldman.
Last season, the Bears gave up over 1,800 yards on the ground. In 2013, it was over 2,500. Goldman now pairs with defensive end Ray McDonald and last year's second-round pick, defensive end Ego Ferguson, to form a much-improved front.
